New Clickatell service offers health advice via SMS

Leading messaging provider Clickatell launched today an SMS health service, using the power and popularity of SMS text messaging to help raise the awareness and understanding of health issues amongst the general public.

"The service allows subscribers to access a wealth of health information via text message. Users can create their own profile by filling out an online questionnaire focused on common health issues; subscribers will then receive information and advice via SMS on health issues pertinent to their profile, for example, drinking or smoking.

Alternatively, users can text a particular keyword to receive information on a range of topics such as obesity, safe sex or even the contact details for a 24 hour pharmacy. Members will also benefit from free text messages and ring tones as part of the offering."
